Going from Los Angeles to the northeast region, the land precipitously runs away from the sea and transforms into sharp-looking peaks and high plains that offer the viewer sumptuous illusions and Jurassic desolation. The sand reaches the road edge, an ochre thin dust splattered of uncouth herbs and uneducated bushes. A lizard is what it […]

Those critters cannot fly despite having wings; they have long muscular legs, and once they take off, they extend their wings in order to capture as much air as they possibly can. It really was not drawing a parallel between them and the lobsters what was annoying me. The surrounding landscape was not particularly cheerful […]

There are stories that are true and some others that are not necessarily untrue; at least in the opinion of its author. This question is, however, just pointless; generally, neither one of them are measured by that yardstick. It is quite unusual to believe a weird story the very first time we hear it; we […]

So where have I been all this time? Everywhere, making people wait I guess, doing almost everything you get to tell, involved in a movie shooting in India, pestering travelers, deleting signals, weeping in the Gaza Strip, but, who could ever say this is not the most beautiful topic? Laura stood by the window anxiously […]

In Baeza, Antonio Machado taught French in a high school. I saw the classroom almost intact; the cramped wooden desks with the little hole for the inkwell, the wooden flooring, and his teacher table with a built-in brazier…I was walking around the room while trying to guess what a genius would think in such a […]

“Hey, by the way, ¿have you heard about the Sons of the Thunder? I asked him. I did not expect a foreigner to ask that question; I swear I heard his heartbeat, like he had either touched on a sacred topic or a too personal one. Well, I bet she would have played dumb if […]
